History of Walk
Since 1986, the Lambda Kappa-Beta chapter of Beta Theta Pi has held an annual Walkathon for Diabetes in memory of Steven P. Arnold, CWRU ‘84. Steve died in 1985 from diabetes complicated heart disease and was an active member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity at Case Western Reserve University. Proceeds from the event support a diabetes education fund at the Diabetes Partnership of Cleveland.
